Jam - Bricks & Mortar lyrics

Bricks and mortarreflecting social change

Cracks in the pavementreveal cravings for success

Why do we try to hide our past

By pulling down houses and build car parks

Windows and mirrors like a two-way glass

This is progressnothing stands in it's path

Yellow bulldozersthe donkey jackets and j.c.b.'s

While hundreds are homeless they're constructing a parking space

Why do they have to knock them down

And leave the site dormant for months on end?

Who has the right to make that choice?

A man whose home has cost forty grand

Tell me!

Bricks and mortarbricks and mortar

Knock 'em down!
